Three subsidiaries of a company that for years has tried to construct a trash-transfer station in Oakville over the objection of nearby residents have contributed nearly $2,000 to 6th District County Council Democratic candidate Steve Stenger.

Citizens for Steve Stenger has received $1,975 from three Fred Weber Inc. subsidiaries — $675 from Quality Sand Inc., $650 from Bluff City Minerals and $650 from Crystal Springs Development.

Stenger seeks to unseat 6th District County Councilman John Campisi, R-south county. Campisi, who since 2004 has voted against the trash-transfer station to be constructed at 5219 Baumgartner Road, recently lost an appeal seeking to set aside a settlement agreement between St. Louis County and Fred Weber to build the station.

While the County Council in 2004 rejected the station’s construction because of the County Department of Health’s concerns, the Missouri Department of Natural Resources in July approved Weber’s permit application for the station and cited improvements to the station’s design plan mitigating those initial health concerns.

As of Oct. 15, Citizens for Steve Stenger had raised $219,820.38, including $150,000 Stenger donated to himself. He had spent $128,764.51.

As of Oct. 13, the Committee to Elect John Campisi had raised $12,748.25 and spent $7,439.86. His largest single contributor is Air Conditioning Contractors of America St. Louis Chapter, which donated $5,000.
